What are the education requirements for an undersea and hyperbaric medicine physician?

I am a 21-year-old male who wants to be a physician, but not an ordinary one. I want to pursue a career in undersea and hyperbaric medicine. What are the education requirements and job outlook?

There are several career pathways to Undersea and Hyperbaric Medicine such as Emergency Medicine, Critical Care Medicine, Internal Medicine, and Family Practice. Ideally, you would go through fellowship training in Hyperbaric Medicine after you finish residency. There are available courses for physicians in Undersea Diving Medicine. I would recommend that you visit the website for Undersea & Hyperbaric Medical Society: UHMS.ORG
